Two years ago last month I wrote a letter to the editor about the dangers of pit bull attacks, not only in this country but all around the world. My letter was based on research of these aggressive and dangerous dogs over the previous 10 years and an attack on three innocent people at the Seabrook Shopping Plaza merely going to their cars. The owner at that time told us that they had escaped but were good dogs.

That owner's explanation has been told too many numerous times and is a poor excuse for these dogs who attack, maul, and kill and have killed infants, toddlers, children, adults, other dogs, cats and farm animals.These are all facts and the sad and horrific part of it is that it happens daily. Allow me to repeat that again – it happens daily and there are as many as five or more attacks daily.
